THE GENTLEWOMAN – FLORIANE DE SAINT PIERRE
the gentlewoman, beautiful little sister of the fantastic man features a lot of really interesting interviews and articles. one is quite fascinating, it’s the floriane the saint pierre’s interview. premier fashion head hunter (even if she dislikes the appellation) she is responsible for a lot of the latest big mix matching in the fashion world from alber elbaz at lanvin to christopher bailey at burburry among others. the quite surprising thing in this article to me comes right at the beginning when numbers are mentioned. it’s saying that galliano would have made 15 millions euro a year at dior before the he’s breakdown and that dior would have offered 20 millions euros to nicholas gesquierre to move to dior… i don’t know if i’m being really naive but i would never have guessed fashion designers were making that kind of money… by pp.

this is no pulp fiction: meet british publisher, faber & faber’s new editor-at-large
faber & faber, home to 12 nobel laureates and six booker prize winners, faber & faber is now looking to bring a little cocker magic to its list after hiring jarvis cocker as its new editor-at-large. “jarvis felt like a natural fit with the faber sensibility, both as author and editor, and i’m sure the small list of books he will develop will represent his eccentric and yet popular touch,” said faber editor lee brackstone. sign me up! by dd+ar
